I’m still here! Well…I’ll be moving on soon which I’ll explain in a sec. I just wanted to update everyone on our little family. Aidan is doing well! He’s fairly HUGE which is so weird for me since Devin was always in the 50th percentile. He’s just like Devin in that he fusses quite a bit if he’s not being held or talked to (I never luck out in the easy baby department – I must be on the LIST titled “Needs to learn patience”). But, he is easier than Devin in that he’s usually easier to console and smiles A LOT which is totally adorable.
Lack of sleep has been hard, but I’m really excited about my little family right now. Having 2 is definitely more work, but it’s so much fun seeing both my boys interacting with eachother. Devin has adored Aidan since the beginning which has been a real blessing, and Aidan seems to love watching the antics of his big brother. I may just have to have another one! We’ll see, right?
I wanted to let everyone know (yes, all of you 5 readers out there!) that I’m moving on to a new blog. I never really liked the name of this blog and I finally found an available domain name I like. I’m designing it myself which is taking awhile because I have to learn about coding and design software – fun! I will post the link to my new blog on Mommy In Progress once it’s live. This blog expires on April 15, so that is my deadline, but I’m hoping for March.
Oh yeah – my birth story will be on the new blog. So late…I know! But, I’m all obsessed with designing this new blog. At least that’s my excuse.
On Wednesday, we headed on down to Brian’s parents house in San Luis Obispo (great town where I actually went to college) for a quick lunch with his parents before heading down to my Dad’s. They had a great time hanging out with Devin for a bit and it was nice to chat with them without the stress of the wedding schedule. Here’s my favorite pic:
Ojai and Art
My Dad lives in a cool, little town called Ojai, CA. It’s a small town that has a bit of a hippy, artist vibe. Plus, it’s just far enough from L.A. that several movie stars live there so you never know who you’re going to see: Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Paxton, Reese Witherspoon.

…needed someone so bad! Yeah! Have you ever wanted someone, you just couldn’t have…
Yes, I’m an 80’s rocker chick, and No, I’m not ashamed to admit it!
My friend in California is seeing Def Leppard in concert tonight and I’m insanely jealous because they’re awesome live and they’re one of my all time favorite bands.
And here is one of my all time favorite songs. Love the hair!
I’ve been spending way too much time rehashing this vacation, but I feel like I have to document it because it’s the last time we’ll see our family and friends in California until the baby. Trust me…I’ll get back on topic soon.
Home, Sweet Home
My Mom’s house is the house I grew up in since I was 10 years old, and consider it my childhood home. So when I come back to it, I automatically feel comforted and secure. My inner child loves that!
We didn’t get to my Mom’s until very late as we were having too much fun in Sacramento, but we still got up early on Monday to go to an amusement park with my cousin, Keri, and her son, Wyatt. Continue reading “Home, Sweet Home”
